Ukraine President Zelenskyy has said that despite FIFA’s attempts to block their peace offering the world will still hear his call.
According to Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, despite his pleads to allow him to broadcast a message for peace in the final of the FIFA World Cup, and his cry to a conference of peace to resolve the issue of Russia constantly waging war against them, FIFA did not allow the broadcast.
According the the president of Ukraine, despite FIFA’s attempts to block the message from getting broadcasted in the final at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, the world has heard what he had to say. Zelenskyy in his video to his compatriots has said that the soccer World cup is all about a subtle essence of winning. The president also added that their competition in the final is just on a football pitch, and not on a battleground. Talking about the possibility of Russia’ nuclear strikes, he said that on the football field the worst they can face is a Red Card, not a Red button.
